The Robogals Science Challenge is a global online STEM competition for girls aged 5-15.
It aims to promote innovation and exploration through hands-on projects, which can be completed with a friend, parent, or mentor.
The competition format has two main Challenges. Participants are required to complete 2 Minor Challenges before being eligible for the Major Challenge.
What are Minor Challenges? A series of mini projects related to various STEM disciplines will be released. Participants should complete at least two before being able to progress to the next stage of the competition.

Participants are entered into one of three age divisions:
Junior: 5 – 8 years
Intermediate: 9 – 12 years
